Gutenberg did not invent the printing press, which had beenm churing out pictures, often with text carved into the block, for some time. Gutenberg's revolutionary invention was moveable type - individual letters which could be arranged to make words, sentences, partagraphs, pages, and then re-used for new pages. from that point on, a page could be set up in a matter of hours, whereas before the individual carving of a wood block for a page of text took weeks.
